ball pythons on a reality show last night lol

[Salamander Rising]

My daughter laughed out loud for several minutes after watching that new show Total Blackout.

This episode they had a plexiglass maze filled with pet rats, and the contestant had to find specific item in the maze. Every last one of them freaked out and started screaming and crying because of the rats.

My daughter said it was pretty lame. And I said, "Yeah, you could never be on that show, because not only would you run the clock out of time cuddling the rats, you'd want to bring them all home with you!" We both laughed over that.

People behave irrationally when it involves fear, and people always fear what they don't understand.

If I knew I wouldn't have to put pig innards or other disgusting gore in my mouth or something, I'd *love* to get on one of those shows.

Oh sure, I'd fake "scared" when they dump snakes/rats/mice/lizards/whatever on me but then I'd be rich when I won.....

[and that's not even counting the dinkers I'd be surreptitiously stuffing into my pockets]
